I think you have a pretty damn good gun , I think most companys' actually put out good guns , its just a matter of finding the load that shoots best through each one . I have a t/c firehawk ss with a thumbhole stock , a bushnell banner bp 3x9 mounted on top , and I love this gun . Its one of t/cs's barrels' from about 5 years back so it doesn't have the QLA but its not bad to load at all . But I was actually looking at t/cs' encore , but I keep seeing bad posts of the gun , so could you fill me in mulieking why you don't really care for it ....Thanks ...NMhuntnutt
